Teaching Reflections

I read Steve, Brea, and Morgan's teaching philosophies.

I personally got alot out of Steve's  teaching philosophy. This is because it seemed to be written in a third person point of view. Like he was actually asking himself each one of these questions. I found it to be a refreshing idea. Being able to ask yourself  questions like these and also being prepared to answer them on the spot shows preparation and passion for what you are doing. I also like how he used a metaphor for teaching/learning. Being able to visualize this makes the task of teaching a little more focused on that end result.

 Both Brea and Morgan focused on having a safe/comfortable learning environment. While Morgan concentrated on being able to adapt herself to her students, Brea zoomed in on making sure that she was making the classroom as comfortable as possible by setting standards for herself and her students.

These reflections have given me some questions to ask myself, such as: Why do I teach? How can I make the process of teaching/learning comfortable for everyone? How can I make myself easily adapt and not fall into a pattern?
